Archon Battle Pet

Blizzard

Legacy of the Void will come in a Standard Edition (physical and digital versions available), which players can pre-purchase now digitally for $39.99. Anyone who purchases or pre-purchases any edition of the expansion will also unlock access to an upcoming, yet-to-be-revealed StarCraft Warrior Hero in Heroes of the Storm. Players also have the option to upgrade their pre-purchase to the Digital Deluxe Edition ($59.99), which will unlock a variety of in-game bonuses for Blizzard games (available upon Legacy of the Void’s release), including:

Archon battle pet ready to join your side in World of Warcraft

Void Seeker mount to charge through the Nexus in Heroes of the Storm

Protoss card back to demonstrate your psionic potential in Hearthstone

Protoss-themed portraits and unit skin for StarCraft II

Legacy of the Void will also be available in a retail-exclusive Collector’s Edition, which comes equipped with the digital bonus items from the Digital Deluxe Edition, as well as a special edition of the upcoming full-color hardcover StarCraft Field Manual; a DVD loaded with cinematics and special features; and a CD soundtrack.

The first batch of hotfixes are up for the week of July 13th, and they include fixes to tier armor set bonuses that weren't triggering due to damage shield absorbs. The second batch of hotfixes includes a fix for Oronok Torn-heart.

July 16th Hotfixes include bug fixes for several Hellfire Citadel encounters, a change to the Captain's Hat which now allows it to be transmogged by all armor classes, and the Strongbox changes previously mentioned.

Check out the notes below or the linked database pages to see the changes.

6.2 has brought with it a myriad of gearing options and a wide range of item levels and accessibility to that gear. Below we have listed all the newly available gear by item level with links to the filters for that gear, as well as links to guides on how to obtain it.

Hellfire Citadel LFR continues to unlock over the next few months, so this overview can help you hit your ilvl 650 requirement to run it!

Here are some general item tips:

If you have an excess amount of Apexis Crystals, purchasing the ilvl 650 Baleful items from Tanaan Jungle is a quick way to gear up. If you have an excess amount of gold, old pre-6.2 Apexis Items from vendors in Stormshield and Warspear now cost gold, and range between ilvl 630 and ilvl 670. Supreme Lord Kazzak is a new world boss who drops ilvl 705 gear for level 100 players in Tanaan Jungle.

In order to keep the list simplified, the warforged versions of the items from Hellfire Citadel (which adds an additional 6 item levels) are not listed separately but all the items from that raid are available in warforged versions. Check out the item pages from that loot to see all the available versions of the item. There are three ways players can get better-than-expected stats for a particular item--Warforged (which adds + item levels), an additional gem socket, and the presence of a bonus tertiary stat (Movement Speed, Indestructible, Leech, and Avoidance. These are also considered bonus stats and aren't part of an item's regular stat budget. It will be very rare to get an item that has all three augmentations at once but all the items listed below have a chance to have these augmentations.

Often, the Bonus Event weekends that are new as of 6.2 can allow for acquisition of gear that is unavailable otherwise, or easier acquisition of gear through currency like Honor and Apexis Crystal. We have listed those below as well.

If you are having trouble choosing items to upgrade, you can start exploring stats with our newly revamped Class Guides, where you can learn more about Attunement stats, Best in Slot items, and other information on gearing and playing your character.

If you want to know which item level you should be aiming for, you can find out about upgrades for your character using our Character Planner Tool!
